Tender Buttons in New York City. They have many kinds. If you call them up they might be able to send you photos. Not sure though. Very good quality. I've used their buttons on numerous suits/sportcoats over the years.

Why are old tweed jackets often stiff and "plasticky" feeling - is it dry-cleaning, poor quality fabric, or just the nature of the beast?
Stiff is the nature of the beast (well, for a traditional tweed- some are made to be softer), but I can't say I can recall a tweed jacket feeling plasticky.
Thanks for the link, RC.
Truly LOVE this one (too bad it's out of stock):
These two are pretty sweet:

Like this one in particular: Harris Tweed and Knitwear
Sent them an email about sizes and availability of jackets in other fabrics. Will post response here.
Was there ever a follow up on this? Does anyone have any experience with Harris Tweed and Knitwear?
I have bought a tie just to try it out, and they were very friendly, and the tie is OK quality i guess, though I haven't got much experience with wollen ties.
